The first thing you'll need when building a gaming rig is a solid processor. AMD Ryzen 3 and 5 series processors are great for those on a budget, and if you have a little more to spend, you can splurge on an Intel Core i5 or even an i7 if you like.

Of course, it is very difficult to enjoy your favorite games in all their glory without a good GPU. AMD's RX 6600 series processors aren't the most powerful on the market, but they aren't the most expensive either, and you'll still be able to enjoy all but the most intensive games. Upgrade to the RX 6700 or 6800 series if you want more juice.

You'll need a place to store your games, so grab a good hard drive. You can use an SSD just for the boot drive and a cheaper HDD for storage, or spend a bit more for a bigger, faster SSD. It all depends on your storage needs and speed.
